7 points clear of 7th, better GD too so may as well be of 8 anyhow. Wembley day anyone again?

[Woolly Mammoth]

The first 90 + minutes are the most important. This is what happens when we feed Mitro with crosses. The ball never gets tired, and a clean sheet also.
Mitro will be relieved more than most, great theatre and great timing.
Who wrote the script, however, I would have preferred to see our subs used far earlier than they are.
That is three precious and massive points for morale and team spirit and will make so much difference for the atmosphere in training for the rest of the week.

For me I am pleasantly surprised that Fulham walk away with all three points there.  While Scotty had the lads playing at a much quicker pace there just was no real threat from Fulham in the final third. 

Loved that the team were playing more one touch and two touch passing rather then the slow methodical sideways backwards passing.  It was much more exciting and produced a lot more corners and shots on targets. 

A few match notes:
•   While that was a soft PK given to Fulham that was an awful penalty taken by Mitro.  No real power and slow in the stutter step building up to kicking the ball. 
•   We are lucky that the ref did not give a pen to the Swans.  Could have seen it given a couple of times. 
•   Bobby Reid was invisible most of the match.  Not his best.  He would have been the player I would have taken off with Kabano coming on for. 
•   Knockaert made some important touches but not enough for me.  Wish AK had started for him instead. 
•   Harry didn't impress me either.  Wish StefJo had started for him instead. 

In the end glad Fulham got the three points as I could have seen that being the beginning of the top places running away from them. 

COYW!!!

A minor miracle? Poor in the final third. Best not to comment on the penalty. That being said, it is a massive three points. Hope it'll give the players a nice lift ahead of the Preston game.

Really hope the players play with that kind of pace for the rest of the season.

I want to see kebano start, he's so quick at turning with the ball. Think he can cause lots of problems

[RaySmith]

Like at Derby and Millwall,  performances much criticised  by fans, we dug deep here, and didn't  give up, with heroic defending, and kept threatening their goal, despite , frustratingly, having no success.

But Mitro! what character that man has, as well as immense  determination, courage and skill, to come back mentally after the  awful pen, and score such a goal, and well done to AK too, for yet another  inch perfect cross - out first all night?

Very well done to Scott and the lads.

Agree, bu I thought Arter had a good game

[AnOldBrownie]

But who do you sit?   Cav or Knock?

[grandad]

We were so on top for the whole game. Go & look at the stats on the Offal. One that stood out was that Swansea made 53 clearances to our 9. Is is just our finishing that is stopping us score more.

Agree with this.  I think I heard GJ say he had an appendix operation or something.

Agreed, this wasn't a tactical issue other than set pieces with Knockaert to me. This was a match that came down to the players. Who was going to show up and find the back of the net? Mitro. Unfortunately, each Cav, Reid and Knock, had their chances and didn't find their goals.

[Sgt Fulham]

Mitrovic has made this season worth all the nonsense. What a man!

That's why we should have bought a second striker last two windows.

[YankeeJim]

Arter and Knockers shouldn't be starting. I'd go with Kebano and than if we are not ahead I'd do a double switch with Knockers and Abou coming on. That much pace go at defenders from both sides of the pitch would scare the hell out of them. With Stefo & Kmac available, Arter needn't even see the bench.

[FFC1987]

I thought we created more than we have for a lot of games and just didn't finish. Mitro particularly. We could of won this game comfortably to be fair.
